Sydney Sweeney, car-restoration queen, traded in her boilersuit for something a little more sophisticated on Wednesday night.
The 24-year-old attended a For Your Consideration event for Euphoria on April 20 in L.A. alongside costars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, and Barbie Ferreira. While she wasn’t the only one working a two-piece suit—Zendaya wore a gray number by Fear of God—Sweeney leaned into the dark, romantic energy of her Alexander McQueen look.
The plunging deep-V blazer, featuring sheer lace corset detailing across the waist, was styled with nothing underneath—a daring trend that even Meghan Markle has embraced in recent weeks. With the help of stylist Molly Dickson, Sweeney finished off the look with black pointed-toe heels that all but disappeared beneath her trousers.
Her glam team kept it cool with an ’80s-inspired feathered cat eye, a matte mauve lip, and subtly textured waves.
At the event, Sydney Sweeney described her Euphoria character Cassie as a “dream” role for an actor, and even identified with parts of her emotional journey.
“I was a teenage girl,” she told the audience. “I wanted love, and I searched for love, and I searched for acceptance. And Cassie is searching for all of that. She’s just unfortunately looking in the wrong places sometimes.”
When the audience laughed at what is possibly the understatement of the century, Sweeney followed up with: “Geez, guys, she’s not that bad!” Sure, Syd. Sure.
